Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

"It was originally supposed to take half a month, but now it's almost over, and there are only a few days left."

Although Gellert had prepared himself mentally, he was speechless when he heard that they had only been together for a few days.

How can I really bear to let go? How can I not feel sad?

But like he said, he had no choice but to let go.

"I wanted you to stay for two more days, but looking back, you should have already pushed for the maximum time."

Ling Bai was slightly stunned.

"Although you haven't told me anything, I can guess that sometimes your expression reveals your embarrassment and reluctance. You don't want to leave so soon, right?"

Ling Bai slightly turned his eyes away and didn't look at Gellert.

He was actually a little afraid to look at Gellert.

"So you want to leave now?"

Ling Bai shook his head.

“I want to try again”

Gellert was silent, then laughed at himself.

"You are really patient with him."

Ling Bai shook his head.

"If it were you, I would do the same."

"You are always like this. You seem to be nice to everyone, but in fact, no one has a place in your heart."

Ling Bai frowned.

"Why do you think so? I just..."

"Okay, you philandering little fox, maybe I know this better than you do yourself."

Ling Bai didn't say anything else. Perhaps Gellert was right. Sometimes he didn't quite understand himself.

People are always like this. When they look at themselves, they never see as clearly as others do.

The two of them naturally skipped over this inherently sad topic.

Because talking about it further would only make the feeling more sad.

The two had lunch together, as Gellert had some things to do in the afternoon.

In fact, those things are not impossible to shirk.

Especially knowing that they only had a few short days left to spend together.

But Gellert took the initiative to say he was leaving, leaving his time for others.

When Gellert left the basement, he bumped into Snape who was rushing over.

"Snape"

Suddenly being called, Snape stopped.

“Perhaps I never thought that one day I would learn the word share”

There was a trace of confusion in Snape's eyes. He didn't understand the meaning of Gellert suddenly calling him and saying these words to him.

"Forget it, just go in."

Snape didn't stay for too long. He nodded slightly and strode to the basement.

Until Snape's figure disappeared from his sight, Gellert smiled.

"Actually, I don't really lose out. After all, I'm not the only one waiting. At least I have someone to keep me company."

Gellert joked to himself, but only he knew the bitterness in his words.

When Snape arrived, he immediately saw the plaster on Ling Bai's arm.

"How is this going"

Ling Bai was annoyed that the first thing everyone asked him when they saw him was his injury.

Ling Bai just said a few words and didn't want to talk more about it. Snape naturally sensed it, and although he was in a bad mood, he didn't ask any more questions.

"You came just in time. I was just wondering when you would come."

"Well, I heard that Draco came to see me yesterday. I think it was because of you, but I was not at home yesterday."

"Well, it is indeed because of my matter that Draco and Theodore are now on the same side with us, but this is exactly what I want to talk about.

Sif, thank you for your hard work during this period, but let’s leave it as it is.”

"What does this mean?"

"I already have a way to leave here, but not now"

Snape suddenly thought of Gellert's strange expression when he met him at the door just now.

"Isn't Grindelwald cooperating with Riddle?"

Ling Bai nodded.

"He knew that continuing to work with Tom was like continuing to work with a ticking time bomb."

Snape nodded, suddenly relieved.

"fair enough"

Ling Bai looked at Snape, who had a dark blue circle under his eyes, and gently pressed under his eyes.

"You haven't slept well during this period."

"It's okay. I'm a light sleeper."

"Professor, you always like to show off."

"When are you going to leave?"

"Three days, those are the last days I will leave"

Snape was stunned. The last four words "leave" made Snape realize something.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but no words came out.

His heart seemed to be tightly wrapped by a large net, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Are you leaving?"

Ling Bai nodded, a hint of apology and reluctance flashed in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, professor, I didn't keep my word."

"I have been on guard against you, a little fox who loves to lie."

Snape tried hard to force a smile, but it was obviously uglier than crying.

"If you can't laugh, don't laugh, Sev. After I leave, I hope Sev will be yourself."

"Okay, I understand. I'll wait for you to come back."

Ling Bai smiled, but he didn't realize how reluctant his smile was.

Snape finally couldn't help but hug him tightly.

"I need your help, Sif."

Snape hummed, but his words were nasal.

"I hope you can bring Cedric and the Weasley brothers here one day. After all, I still owe them an explanation and a farewell."

"it is good"

Snape agreed with almost no hesitation.

Ling Bai pinched Snape's cheek.

"thank you"

Snape bent down and kissed those bright red lips.

The two of them kissed passionately for a long time, until the person in his arms began to breathe more difficultly.

After talking a lot with Snape, Ling Bai felt a little better.

Tom finally came in the evening.

His hand was also wrapped in a plaster cast.

At first glance, the two of them look like a couple.

"I thought you didn't even want your hands anymore, given your madness."

Tom lowered his head guiltily. He hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't control his longing for him and came to see him.

"sorry"

His voice was full of regret and guilt.

Ling Bai rarely reached out and patted the side of his bed.

Tom was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of surprise appeared on his face uncontrollably.

He had actually prepared himself mentally, but he didn't expect the person in front of him to be so soft-hearted.

"Why, you don't want to come and sit?"

Tom shook his head quickly, walked quickly to the bed and sat down.

Ling Bai suddenly sniffed.

“Did you smoke?”

The smell of tobacco on the man was actually very light, but it still couldn't escape the nose of Ling Bai, the little fox.

"I've been getting rid of the cigarette smell for a long time. Is it still there? I'll go out and come back in later."

"It's okay, it's not pungent anymore. I just remember that you don't like smoking very much. You even hate the smell of tobacco, so I'm a little surprised to suddenly smell it on you."
